What is the value of a Peru 500000 note?

Peru does not have a current issue note with a denomination of 500,000. All notes issues prior to re-valuation in 1991 are essentially worthless other than to collectors.

The 500,000 Intis note was issued twice in 1988 and again in 1989. In perfect uncirculated condition, they are worth between $5-$7, depending on specific issue. A circulated note in Very Fine condition would be worth about $1.

Which is better merino wool or peruvian highland wool?

It depends on what you're looking for. Merino wool is incredibly soft, and has a nice light hand, but it tends to be fragile. It doesn't always wear well, and is prone to fuzzing and pilling. It's lovely when softness is the main consideration, like for a scarf or baby items. But make an active boy a sweater of it, and the thing will be all pills and holes in no time at all. Peruvian Highland sheep are a cross between Merino (for the softness) and Corriedale (for durability.) You get a wool that is stronger and more durable, without losing too much in softness. It's a good all purpose wool, but not butter-soft like the merino.

Why is Peru two-thirds of the way covered in amazon rain forest?

Peru's climate is the primary reason why two-thirds of the country is covered in Amazon rainforest. Located in the northern part of South America, Peru is part of the tropics and has a tropical climate. This climate is perfect for the growth of rainforest and is responsible for the dense jungle that covers the country. The tropical climate includes:

  • High rainfall
  • High temperatures
  • High humidity
  • Heavy cloud cover

These conditions are ideal for the growth of the rainforest and have allowed the Amazon rainforest to thrive in Peru. In addition, Peru's topography also contributes to the presence of the Amazon rainforest. Peru's terrain is made up of mountains, valleys, and river systems, which provide the perfect environment for the rainforest to spread and flourish. The combination of the tropical climate, topography, and other factors, make Peru two-thirds of the way covered in Amazon rainforest.
